No groundhogs here! Here there are signs of an unusually warm and dry winter and an incoming spring season. Ivar feels much better after being brushed out (for the second time in the last couple weeks)!

Ok, 2025. I see you. 🫠
The branches however are all sitting perfectly over, but not on the gardens and the lilacs. Each one is curved just right to avoid the damage it could have caused. And today is pretty sunny with no wind or rain (like it has been for the last few days) so we can get this cleared up.

Happy New Year everyone. I'm thankful for a slow morning to be in the sun listening to my neighborhood wake up ☺️

We had a freeze last week that took out the rest of my garden. These are the pumpkins that made it. I had another small one but the earwigs got to it first 🫣 They did well in that spot even if they were supposed to be compost so I may try pumpkins there next year too.

We found an anxiety tincture blend that works well for us. Plants for the win! What are your favorite herbs to grow or use?

We had a little foraging adventure today so there's comfrey in the dehydrator and more mullein leaves hanging outside.

We're also baking with apples so I started my first batch of apple cider vinegar. I can't wait to see how it turns out!

How did you spend your Saturday?

I pollinated another female pumpkin flower this morning πŸ™Œ Here's a progress photo of my first pumpkin and my tomato. The weather has cooled slightly so hopefully that helps a bit!

Comparison photos of male and female pumpkin flowers. The first 2 are the males. They appear first, are smaller, and have more pollen in the center (this part is called the stamen). After a week or so, the female flowers bloom. The females have a teeny pumpkin (called the o***y) at the base and very little pollen in the center (their center is called the stigma).
Since this is the first female flower to bloom for me, I decided to hand-pollinate in the hopes that I might get a pumpkin before it gets too cold. Fingers crossed!
